Plus they actually priced out cheaper than mats from Tractor Supply. So are the Stall Savers/Stall Skins a good investment?? Edited by TACKyPaints 2015-08-09 5:32 PM

Did you have any issues with them tearing or from horses pawing? Both mine paw at feeding time and one is a big time stall walker

Both mine paw at feeding time and one is a big time stall walker I never had issues. My horse had a 12x12 stall and then a 12x24 run. I did stall skins in both and kept it bedded with at least 5" of cedar rest bedding. It helped with fly control etc. After it rained, I would fluff the cedar rest and let it dry. A LOT less waste of bedding than shavings.
